Hello to all of our blogger friends! We thought that it was about time to make a blog post before you all think we have disappeared!! :) Well, in truthfulness I guess we have disappeared from the blogoshere. To be honest we haven't had the blogging spirit lately. ): Maybe it's all of the changes we have been and still are going through. Katie will be going into her junior year of high school (home school) this year. Which is a pretty big step in its self. Since I have graduated I now look back and realize just how important those last two years of high school really are.
Next week I will begin a new phase in my life. College. I will be attending Bob Jones University. I am really looking forward to it. I know that it want be easy. Nothing worthwhile ever is. However, in the end I feel that a college experience at BJU will not only be beneficial academically but also spiritually. Katie and I both are looking forward to this coming school year. As you can imagine we probably want have much time to blog,but when we do find the time one of us will try to update you on our lives.

Hi everyone! We have a new camera! yay! lol (: The one that we had got broken a few weeks ago. Therefore we weren't able to take or post any pictures. So hopefully now that we have a camera around we will be able to post more of our own pics! (= Here are a couple of pictures taken on our new camera..

His erring child He reconciled,And pardoned from his sin.
O love of God, how rich and pure!How measureless and strong!

It shall forevermore endureThe saints’ and angels’ song.

When years of time shall pass away,And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall,

When men, who here refuse to pray,On rocks and hills and mountains call,God’s love so sure, shall still endure,All measureless and strong;Redeeming grace to Adam’s race—The saints’ and angels’ song.
Could we with ink the ocean fill,And were the skies of parchment made,Were every stalk on earth a quill,And every man a scribe by trade,To write the love of God above,Would drain the ocean dry.Nor could the scroll contain the whole,Though stretched from sky to sky.

The fascinating history of this hymn:
Fred­er­ick M. Leh­man wrote this song in 1917 in Pas­a­de­na, Cal­i­fornia, and it was pub­lished in Songs That Are Dif­fer­ent, Vol­ume 2, 1919. The lyr­ics are based on the Jew­ish poem Had­da­mut, writ­ten in Ara­ma­ic in 1050 by Meir Ben Isaac Ne­hor­ai, a can­tor in Worms, Ger­ma­ny; they have been trans­lat­ed in­to at least 18 lang­uages.
One day, dur­ing short in­ter­vals of in­at­ten­tion to our work, we picked up a scrap of pa­per and, seat­ed up­on an emp­ty le­mon box pushed against the wall, with a stub pen­cil, add­ed the (first) two stan­zas and chor­us of the song…Since the lines (3rd stan­za from the Jew­ish po­em) had been found pen­ciled on the wall of a pa­tient’s room in an in­sane asy­lum af­ter he had been car­ried to his grave, the gen­er­al opin­ion was that this in­mate had writ­ten the epic in mo­ments of san­ity.

All the way my Savior leads me,What have I to ask beside?Can I doubt His tender mercy,Who through life has been my Guide?Heav’nly peace, divinest comfort,Here by faith in Him to dwell!For I know, whate’er befall me,Jesus doeth all things well;For I know, whate’er befall me,Jesus doeth all things well.
All the way my Savior leads me,Cheers each winding path I tread,Gives me grace for every trial,Feeds me with the living Bread.Though my weary steps may falterAnd my soul athirst may be,Gushing from the Rock before me,Lo! A spring of joy I see;Gushing from the Rock before me,Lo! A spring of joy I see.
All the way my Savior leads me,Oh, the fullness of His love!Perfect rest to me is promisedIn my Father’s house above.When my spirit, clothed immortal,Wings its flight to realms of dayThis my song through endless ages:Jesus led me all the way;This my song through endless ages:Jesus led me all the way.

Hello to all of our blogger friends!! We hope you all are having a great summer!

It has been really hot here,and to think that it isn't even technically summer yet! (=

I went
to the DMV yesterday and got my driver's license. I don't know why I waited so long to get them. I guess it's just because I am always with my parents and they always drive us anywhere we need to go. When I found out that I was going to be a town student this fall I knew that I would need to drive to and from school each day,so a driver's license was pretty much a necessity! (: We have been going to the pool quite often, about every other day. We also been baby sitting our Aunt (Mom's little sister) Gracie. She is so sweet! We are having tons of fun with her! (= Well, that is what we have been doing lately. We miss hearing from you all. We are defiantly going to have to try to post more often!!

Hi everyone! It already feels like it is going to be another scorching hot summer day here in South Carolina. We visited our neighborhood swimming pool for the first time yesterday. The temps were in the 90s, so the chilly water was quite refreshing! (: We are enjoying our nice relaxing summer break from school! Hope you all are having a great summer also!

Katie and I both would like to say Hello to all of our dear blogger friends!! We have really missed hearing from you all! It has been really busy here lately. We are just about finished with school, only 2 more days! Friday evening is my graduation ceremony. So, aside from being busy with school we have also been busy preparing for graduation. Which has been lots of fun! I'll make sure that Katie takes lots of pictures to share with you all! (:

Hi everyone! We have been really busy with school this week. We're really looking forward to summer break! My (Holly's) high school graduation is coming up on May 22nd. We have been getting everything together for that. Which has been fun! Our camera has been lost for a couple of weeks now and we just found it yesterday so we should be getting back into the swing of taking and posting pictures soon! Meanwhile, here is my senior picture. I was happy with the way it turned out. Daddy did a great job! I was able to order my cap,gown and invitations from a company that specializes in providing home school graduation gear. I an very pleased with everything that I purchased from them.

Hi. We just wanted to make a quick post to ask you all to pray for a kind family in our neighborhood. We learned last night that their 18 year old son was tragically killed yesterday evening. Although we did not personally know him, we did see him some times when we walked around the neighborhood and he seemed like a nice guy. We, along with the rest of our neighbor's feel very saddened about the situation. When we look out our front windows and see this family's home it is hard for us to imagine what his parents and sister must be going through. Please keep the Jaramillo family in your prayers. Thank you all!

There is a fountain filled with blood drawn from Emmanuel’s veins;
And sinners plunged beneath that flood lose all their guilty stains.
Lose all their guilty stains, lose all their guilty stains;
And sinners plunged beneath that flood lose all their guilty stains.
The dying thief rejoiced to see that fountain in his day;
And there have I, though vile as he, washed all my sins away.
Washed all my sins away, washed all my sins away;
And there have I, though vile as he, washed all my sins away.
Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood shall never lose its power
Till all the ransomed church of God be saved, to sin no more.
Be saved, to sin no more, be saved, to sin no more;
Till all the ransomed church of God be saved, to sin no more.
E’er since, by faith, I saw the stream Thy flowing wounds supply,
Redeeming love has been my theme, and shall be till I die.
And shall be till I die, and shall be till I die;
Redeeming love has been my theme, and shall be till I die.
Then in a nobler, sweeter song, I’ll sing Thy power to save,
When this poor lisping, stammering tongue lies silent in the grave.
Lies silent in the grave, lies silent in the grave;
When this poor lisping, stammering tongue lies silent in the grave.
Lord, I believe Thou hast prepared, unworthy though I be,
For me a blood bought free reward, a golden harp for me!
’Tis strung and tuned for endless years, and formed by power divine,
To sound in God the Father’s ears no other name but Thine.
~William Cowper~

Hello! We hope you all are having a great Easter weekend! We went to Bob Jones University Friday night for their 12th annual living gallery program (an extraordinary presentation that weaves together art, music, and drama. Striking re-creations of artistic masterpieces are brought to life by real people in unique “living pictures.)The title of the presentation was "Behold Your King". It was really nice. We had a great time. The recently renovated Rodeheaver Auditorium.
Us, Mom and Travis ( a friend from BJ)
Happy Easter!
